Nidahas Trophy 2018: 5 players who can seal a spot in the Indian side

# 2 Deepak Hooda

Deepak Hooda can provide the late flourish in the innings

India's search for a hard-hitting lower middle order batsman can finally come to an end with Deepak Hooda. The innovative player from Baroda has been in a splendid form in the recent past across all three formats.

The all-rounder can turn the game on its head with his impressive hard hitting ability. His T20 strike rate points at an impressive 143.48. Though he is not a keen wicket-taker with the ball, he can prove handy as the sixth bowling option and can provide a couple of good overs of off-break bowling.

A couple of good performances in the tri-series would definitely bring him into selectors's radar.
